Introduction
Did you know that your washing machine might be able to dry your clothes without needing a separate dryer? Many modern washing machines, especially front-loaders, have built-in drying features or high-spin cycles that significantly reduce drying time. But most users overlook this function because it's often hidden behind unfamiliar settings or misunderstood terminology. Here’s how to unlock your washer’s hidden drying power.
Why It Works
Many washing machines offer a high spin speed cycle (1,200–1,600 RPM) that removes up to 80% of the water in clothes. Some machines also include a "dry only" or "air dry" setting—especially in washer-dryer combo units—that uses heated air or centrifugal force to dry laundry further. Learning to use these features can save time, energy, and even money.
